" I could talk though of the strength that the hypothetical has given me. In art really, it seems a necessary prerequisite. Let me explain. If you have lived a life which is the antithesis to involvement and passion - of love which surrounds a engulfs you - you are then more conscious of it when it hits - you are able to invoke a painful perspective which should contribute to the creative act. The hypothetical allows you to see the fabric of many passions without sadly being consumed by any of them." Randall   2/22/89
